Answer:

The shortest side of the triangle is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides the triangle be x, y and z.

From the question, the perimeter of the rectangle is 64, that is

x + y + z = 64 ...... (1)

Also, the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3, that is x:y = 4:3, then we can write that x/y = 4/3 ⇒ 3x = 4y ...... (2)

The third side, z, is 20 less than the sum of the other two, that is

z + 20 = x + y ...... (3)

Substitute equation (3) into (1)

Then,

z + 20 + z = 64

2z +20 = 64

2z = 64 - 20

2z = 44

z = 44/2 k

z = 22

From equation (3)

z + 20 = x + y

Then, k

22 + 20 = x +y

42 = x + y

x = 42 - y ...... (4)

Substitute this into equation 2

3x = 4y

3(42-y) = 4y

126 - 3y = 4y

4y + 3y = 126

7y = 126

y = 126/7

y = 18

Substitute this into equation (4)

x = 42 - y

x = 42 - 18

x = 24

∴ x = 24, y = 18 and z = 22

Hence, the shortest side of the triangle is 18.

Answer:

(b) P(\textrm{Event of getting a 3 in the spinner)}  =  \frac{11}{61}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E: Event of getting a 3 in the spinner.

So, the number of favorable outcomes  =  11

Total number of outcomes = Number of times the outcomes is {1,2,3,4,5,6}

= {13 +10 +11+16+11}  = { 61}

So, the total number of outcomes = 61

\textrm{Probability of Event E}  = \frac{\textrm{Number of favorable events}}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}

So, here P(\textrm{Event of getting a 3 in the spinner)}  =  \frac{11}{61}

In triangle ABC, AB=10, BC=8, and angle B=30. In triangle KLJ, LJ=20, JK=16, and angle L=30. State whether the triangles are sim
Margaret [11]

Answer:

They are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, the angle we are given is in between the two defined sides(AB and BC with angle B). If these triangles were similar, we would see this with the SAS postulate.

In triangle KLJ, the angle is not in between the two sides, so they are not similar according to any of these two postulates.
